Shayan Rais's Claude Code guide teaches how to assemble repeatable workflows around Anthropic's coding assistant. Its weather example makes the roles concrete: a command collects the user's preferred temperature unit, an AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition → retrieves the temperature using preloaded instructions, and a separate agent skillA reusable instruction file that teaches an agent how to do one job well — the procedure, the tools, and what counts as done.Full definition → turns the result into a visual card.
The documented workflow separates coordination, data retrieval and presentation. That gives learners a small example of how reusable instructions fit into a larger task, including the difference between instructions loaded when an agent starts and a skill invoked later to produce an output.

AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
agent skill — A reusable instruction file that teaches an agent how to do one job well — the procedure, the tools, and what counts as done.
